Things got more complicated as Copenhagen was kicked out of CL by Qarabag, and were "relegated" to EL. We need 5 upsets now to go to pot 1, assuming we qualify (no doubts for me, though). I think we should stop "dreaming" of pot 1 from now as 4 was already very unlikely, as @kozi mentioned before.
The Gavros reached GS of CL after a win away in Croatia.
Good for us for three reasons:
a) Greece gets points for the coefficient;
b) Croatia does not get points (now);
c) we don't have to split the TV-Revenues of EL with them.
First win in the pocket: PAOK - Bettembourg 8-0.
Τα κορίτσια του Αλέξη Τασούλη ήταν καταιγιστικά και έδειξαν ότι μπορούν να πάρουν την πρωτιά στον όμιλο και να προκριθούν στους 32 του θεσμού.
Εντυπωσιακή ήταν η Δήμητρα Παντελιάδου που έκανε χατ τρικ πετυχαίνοντας τρία γκολ (51’, 75’ και 88’). Από δύο τέρματα είχαν οι Ντιμιτρίγεβιτς (7’, 61’) και η Βαρδαλή (11’, 72’) και ένα είχε η Μπράμε (49’).
Yiannis Antetokounbo is OUT of the Eurobasket. He has an knee-injury.
Greece beated Great Britain today with 84-88. The scheduled match for yesterday was not played. Do not know why, but could be because they will face each other again in World Cup qualifiers in November 2017 and February 2018.
Klaus wanted to wear our jersey for the very last time, but just read on inpaok.com that he is out of the squad as he flies to Israel tomorrow.
No replacement for him in the squad announced yet.
And to answer your last question: the extra spots for the big countries were taken from #11 and #12 but also from the qualifying-spots.
10 countries divide 24 sure entries in GS CL (16 of them for the top 4 countries). The other 45 countries of UEFA have the left-overs: 6 entries .........
Here are the new access lists for CL and EL, paokarag4.

#10 or higher goes directly in GS. Cupwinner also in GS.
#11 might also give access to GS as there is 99% chance that the winner of CL already qualifies for GS CL through the league, especially as the top 4 nations get 4 clubs in GS without qualifying.
First step is to reach #12 to secure the cupwinner in GS EL.
Yep and no. I have not played it in 20 years or so.
Saw a article today in our local paper. Two guys from Rotterdam and a suburb are portrayed as the WC starts today in Greece. Then I looked at the internet and saw it is in Evia. The players of stratego even have a forum. Looks like ours:
